We're getting ready to load everyone up for a long road trip south to see Justus. He's doing an youth ministry internship in Texas with some dear friends of ours, so we get to see them all!

 

Do our gracious hosts know what they're in for with our circus moving in for a week? Here's hoping!

 

Justus texted last week and said, "Mom, do you have any vanilla you can bring? Thought it would make a nice thank you gift for everyone who's housing us."

 

Awww. Great idea, J-Copp. 

 

So I got this bottled up and ready. Do you have a batch going? The prices of vanilla beans make it such a great gift option again!

 

I had a much-needed conversation with a friend last week about not looking back (re-living painful experiences) and not looking forward (worrying about the future) and simply doing this instead:

 

 

That's all we can do and all that we should do. Trust Him with today. He was right there with us during all of our yesterdays. He has our tomorrows too, so there's no need to worry. To live in a state of peace and joy with Him, we simply need to ask for our Daily Bread. To trust His promise to provide it. 

 

I needed this reminder. Maybe you did too. :)

 

Asking for Daily Bread,
